Song Writing - Struggle and Empathy - Tim Levinson - Spectrum (Sat 09 Mar 2013)

Primitive Markings #1- Swanston / Erskineville (Jan 2013)

Tim Levinson (*) talks to Bernard Zuel (*) on Empathy (*) and Struggle (*) in creating in song writing:
''Part of who I am is, I think, I can empathise (*),'' he says. ''I used to think it was the most normal thing in the world but I realise it's one of the qualities I've been left with, for better or for worse.

''In songwriting, quite often you either come from a point of view of struggle … whether that be heartbreak or circumstances. That allows you to write with conviction.

''For me, I have often seen little windows of that struggle (*) or that heartbreak and it gives me an access point I don't necessarily fully understand. I look at those little cracks of light that come through as an invitation to look into it more.''
via 'The best music is written with conviction' (*) by Bernard Zuel (*).

On Finding a Voice - Vandalog (Thu 26 Jul 2012)

Graffiti - Redfern St / Redfern (Fri 13 Jul 2012)

From Graffiti Underworld: Villains, Vandals and Visionaries — An Intimate Look at a Subculture (*)
Graffiti is the perfect opportunity to find a voice. Otherwise you would never find a voice
Reminded me of one of my earlier posts (*) about Graffiti in Venice:
While the oil-and-canvas masterworks hanging in the city’s galleries may reflect of Venice the Renaissance era, it’s what’s painted on the outside of the museum wall that reflects what Venetians — at least the ones wielding cans of spray-paint — are thinking now.

Praying Mantis and Graffiti - Mong Kok / Hong Kong (Mon 02 Jul 2012)

Praying Mantis (*) - Mong Kok / Hong Kong (Mon 02 Jul 2012)

Graffiti - Mong Kok / Hong Kong (Mon 02 Jul 2012)

These two photos seem to go together. They were taken close together and in the same block. They seemed to reflect the unique and local character (and lines) of Hong Kong.

Even the Praying Mantis (*) and graffiti have a Chinese characteristic to them.

The Praying Mantis (*) was only 2cm long but was not shy and very protective of his territory. Amazing self-confidence in it's own abilities.

Two Red Sofa's - Belmore Lane / Enmore (Sun 17 Apr 2011)

Saw a movie (Incendies - smh / google) at the Dendy on Sunday and went for a wander around Newtown and Enmore afterwards. Lots of new stuff around. Liked this photo of nothing in particular, really. Been here before. Got lucky (happens a lot with my photography) with the lady with red and blue address passing by just as I took this photo.
